some big news from dc comics. dc comics is relaunching the superman comic in september and when they do, the man of steel will have an all-new look. this is the new superman costume on the right. he still has the blue suit and the red cape but his belt is changing from yellow to red and his underpants are now under his pants. between superman and anthony weiner, that look is popular. and not only is he wearing his speedos inside now, he's wearing uggs instead of regular boots. it's a little disturbing. these heroes, you grow up with them, they suddenly change. it's weird. we don't update santa every ten years. he's santa. he looks how he looks. i kind of feel like superman should be the same way. but i'm not an expert, so, we went out on hollywood boulevard today to speak to some people who are experts on that subject. and here now is what the costume characters of hollywood boulevard who live outside our building had to say about superman's new look. >> um -- i don't like the fact that they have given him a red b

so there are some big families. but there are also--i have lots of families that are just--children wiped out by diphtheria or tuberculosis or cholera. i mean, so it's--it's a mixed picture; it's not--it's not even. and that's true of just about everything about this generation. c-span: who got educated? >> guest: well, in the north, almost everyone, including free blacks got three years of three-month schooling. that was the goal, to teach reading, writing and ciphering. south, it would be many fewer, but there were lots of academies for planters' children in the south. what's fascinating about teaching is that--illiteracy--is that teaching was the great s--bridge for talented boys and even some talented girls to get off the family farm, then if they were good at book learning, they could become teachers, and then a year or two they could move into one of the new areas, perhaps become a lawyer, move on to becoming a newspaper editor, a clerk in a store. it's fascinating what teaching offered young people. c-span: h

guest: i think there are too few big steps and not enough baby steps. i think it is critical for us. i was willing to vote on the medicare part d which a handful of our democrats did that with president bush because i could not imagine a health-care program for seniors without prescription drugs being integrated into it. was it perfect? no. did it take the necessary steps to get us started on that discussion and debate and the evolution of a senior health care plan that had prescription drugs? yes, it did. i think that is how we have to approach medicare. a baby girl born today as a 50% chance or better of living to 100 my husband's grandmother passed away a couple of years ago one a week shy of 112 living in her own home. these are the things that we are dealing with. people are living longer. i was very engaged with care coordination, wellness, how we coordinate care for our seniors in order to make sure not only are they getting the appropriate care but getting it in the setting that they want and having the quality of life that they want as well. me

i've been anxiously awaiting for this particular program because i'm a big fan of ernest hemingway. several years ago, back in the '60s, a friend from the university of indiana sent me a copy of what was called "a man's credo" by ernest hemingway. i've never seen it published or heard about it from any source that i accessed and i was wondering if any viewer or your guests might have come across this. one of the quotes from the credo states, a long life oftentimes keeps man from his optimism. and i thought this was insightful given the fact that hemingway did commit suicide. i'll wait for your response. thank you. >> thanks very much. susan beegel is editor i should tell you. she teaches but she's also the editor of the hemingway review, which is published out at the university of idaho. she spent a lot of time with ernest hemingway's writing have you heard of a man's credo. >> i'm not familiar with it and i don't believe he wrote anything specifically titled to that. i would guess it might be a work where an editor had perhaps picked up quotations from hemingway and made a man's cr
